I wish we would just start treating Cam like the prototype pocket passer he physically is. Why do we need a run option at all?

I agree with this. Plus, no matter if he hands it off or keeps it, we're starting of a few yards btlos with no momentum. Sometimes the big runs will come but they've been few and far between. Not having above average run blocking makes this even more difficult.

I think he would fit way better in a more spread style playbook without the read option crap (maybe just 3 or so looks a game), and the rest of the offense more similar to the Texans or Packers and learn to run only when he has to or on designed QB draws. I dunno

we don't have to, but he's not just a pocket passer and you'd make a huge mistake and points on the board pretending he is. designed runs need to be a part of the offense and more than that, he has to be able to run and take advantage of the holes left open on the field.

he's not safer and the offense isn't made better by putting him in a box and limiting what he does.

It is funny when people talk about protecting him by keeping him from running. But almost every one of his minor injuries this year have come in the pocket.

same with rg3 and vick and every other QB in the league. that's why there are so many rules protecting the QB....it's dangerous back there. QBs not completely focused on whats around him and he's completely exposed and dependent on an OL to keep him protected, which very often isn't successful and sometimes end up hurting the QB themselves by falling on or getting pushed back on the QB.

QB that can run is better off and safer when he can take off and escape the pocket when that pocket collapses.
